It’s a “Single” Adventure!

That’s okay because this article is all about YOU and what is available for an escape just for singles! There is so much to offer for singles, with friends or with that special someone, whether it’s local or to an island retreat. Local attractions and weekend getaways are pretty easy to come by in our neck of the woods. We are centrally located to hot spots such as Nashville, Memphis, Louisville, Knoxville and Gatlinburg.

These resorts are also all inclusive and offer many of the same amenities and activities listed above. All Resorts are for adults only and some even offer special wedding packages that may include everything from a wedding planner to the continental breakfast the morning after.

Or perhaps the open sea is the adventure you seek.

Set sail on a quest of discovery of lands both foreign and domestic. Destinations can be of exotic isles and the Mediterranean Sea-Italy, Rome, France, Spain and Greece.

Ships are designed to be floating cities offering elegant cuisine, shopping, casinos, nightclubs, skating rinks, water parks, Broadway style theatres, entertainment, spas, and more.

E-Dating 101: Dos and Dont’s of E-Dating in the 21st Century

by Keri McPeak How many times have you gone on a date and thought you made a connection, only to find out they were not what you are looking for? Perhaps you are shy and it takes nothing short of a miracle for you to approach someone. None of this means you can’t have an active social life. It is the 21st Century; make the most of it and e-date!

Did you know that 1 out of 4 people participate in online dating?

In the past few years e-dating has become vastly popular and is now widely accepted.

Whenever you go on a date, no matter how that date was arranged, you are throwing the dice and ultimately hoping you make a connection with someone. E-dating doesn’t change the frustrations associated with those of traditional dating, however, if done properly e-dating can increase your opportunities of meeting someone by keeping your social calendar filled.

A couple of benefits of e-dating include the ability to talk to multiple people at one time and being able to pre-screen potential dates.

Try doing that at a bar! Let’s admit it, when you have been drinking sometimes the screening process gets distorted. Even if you are drinking while chatting up your latest interest on line, at least through

7

e-dating you can avoid making mistakes you will regret the next day.

E-dating allows you to re-evaluate your potential partner during sober daylight hours before taking the plunge. Leave your beer goggles at home and reduce the coyote ugly effect by taking some simple, practical, and real-world strategies to ensure your e-dating experience is maximized.

Step 1: Selecting an E-dating Service Do: Do your research. Pick a dating site that has a large number of members. Most sites will let you search without having to sign-up. If your search returns several hundred “matches” then that is likely a good start. Some sites are free while other charge. Most will let you create a profile and respond to people’s inquiries for free. You only have to pay when you want to contact a person.

Do: Go with the site where members disclose the kind of information you feel is important for selecting potential matches. There are specific e-dating services available for those who wish to be matched up with people who share same religious or ethnical backgrounds. In instances where specific requirements are desired it is important to pay attention to the site’s reputation and the type of people it tends to attract.

www.fortcampbellmwr.com Do: Contact multiple people at one time. This does not mean that you send a mass email out.

Don’t: Get your hopes too high. The reality is that you truly know nothing about your match except what they have chosen to answer. The goal at this point is to identify and contact people who could be potential dates.

Don’t: Just send a “wink.” More than likely you will not get a response back.

Don’t: Give your full name, phone number, or email address. Be cautious and avoid giving away personal information until you feel comfortable with the other person.

Step 2: Setting up an Account Do: Before finalizing the set-up process review and adjust your security settings. There is nothing worse than having your information out there for everyone to see or possibly misuse.

Do: When you choose your screen name, try to be original. This is a great opportunity to incorporate your personality. There are plenty of names you can use to show your sense of humor, interests, or intellect.

Don’t: As obvious as it may seem, do not use your actual name as your screen name. It is also a good idea to avoid using girl, chick, man, guy or any derivatives as well as cutesy (i.e. SillyKitty or FunkyMonkey) names for your screen name.

Step 5: Respond…Or Don’t Do: It’s your prerogative on whether you decide to respond. If you send out a message and think it is only fair to receive one back, then you should do the same; even it is to say “no thanks.”

Step 3: Writing Your Profile Do: Your main profile picture should be a current photo of yourself. Although you may have been really fly several years ago, I guarantee you will not be invited for a second meeting if you do not portray yourself honestly. Try to avoid putting a posed picture or professional head shot up.

Do: If the site allows for multiple pictures to be posted, it’s best to include a variety of pictures of yourself. This is another great opportunity to show your interests. Pictures should be clear enough to see who is who but not necessarily professional quality.

Do: Be honest when filling out the multiple choice and short answer questions that generate your basic information and preferences such as height, weight, religion, age, race, and gender.

Do: If you are serious about getting something positive out of e-dating, put some thought into your profile and think of the profile as an advertisement for yourself. Like the screen name, the tag line is important and needs to catch the attention of those who are searching for someone like you.

Do: Before you write your profile, check out the competition and make sure your answers are original and different from the majority.

Do: Make sure you use spell check. You don’t have to answer every question seriously. If a question is stupid, say so and use it as an opportunity to show more of your personality. Include humor, originality, personality, and confidence when talking about yourself and what you are looking for in a partner.

Don’t: If you have a pet or kid you definitely want to mention that in your profile but not necessarily include pictures of them on your main profile.

Don’t: Include pictures of you with your ex.

Don’t: It is not recommended to indicate your income.

Don’t: Do not confuse the above with arrogance, clichés, or cheesiness. These are quick ways to ensure your profile is skipped.

Step 4: Make Contact Do: When contacting someone make sure to send them a personal message that includes compliments and showcases your personality.

Do: The length of the initial contact should not be too short, or too long. Take the time to respond to each person who peaks your interest.

Step 6: The Email Dialogue Do: It takes two to tango and unless you like to have a conversation with yourself take the initiative to send an email. Be witty, original, and come up with sincere questions.

Do: Set up a special email account that you use for e-dating, especially if your regular email has identifying information, like your name.

Don’t: One liners and limited questions won’t make the cut. In the beginning you should avoid questions regarding exes, politics, personal issues, relationships, or other topics that may make people feel awkward.

Step 7: The Phone Call Do: Once you feel comfortable with whomever you are corresponding with, set up a time when you can talk to each other on the phone.

Don’t: Some people are just not ones to talk on the phone so you should give them the benefit of the doubt and don’t assume they are not interested. However, if your instincts are telling you that there is something off about this person, then by all means follow your instincts.

Step 8: The Meeting Do: Keep it casual and start with coffee or lunch. If the initial meeting goes well, make plans to go out again. Until you feel really comfortable, plan dates that allow you to meet in public places.

Do: It is also a good idea to let friends and Family know where you are going and who will be with you.

Do: Make sure you use common sense, follow your instincts, proceed with caution, and not to create unrealistic or unattainable expectations.

Don’t: Don’t let someone you’ve never met pick you up in a car.

Don’t: If you go for drinks, be responsible and make sure you do not drink too much and never leave your beverage unattended.

Relieving Stress Laugh

by Katherine Kolodzie

Whether reading a good joke, watching a funny video, or sitting down at a comedy club, laughter is a great stress-reliever at the end of a long day. Check out an over-the-top comedy on DVD at R.F. Sink Library or visit D.W. Recreation Center where you have a choice of a variety of movies for free, which you can view on one of their many large screen televisions. Call (270) 798-7446 for more information about D.W. Recreation Center.

Everyone experiences stress. This stress has the potential to become overwhelming and pose a risk to our friendships, professional relationships and personal health. Each of us has the ability to manage our stress. Let’s look at some ways to keep our stress levels in check.

S T R E S S

First, create a personal scale of 1-10, where 1 = not stressed and 10 = meltdown level of stress.

Anytime you feel stressed, check your scale, if you are at a 5 or above, utilize one of the techniques below to reduce your stress level.

Breathe When we are stressed out, our breathing can become shallower.

Take a long, slow, deep inhalation. Next, slowly let out the air while mentally letting go of tension in your body. Do this three times and see how you feel.

Exercise When you exercise, your body releases endorphins and dopamine, giving a quick boost to your mood, in addition to helping work through frustrations. Take time to break a sweat for 20-30 minutes each day.

You’ll feel better physically, and your natural moodboosters will keep you pumped up throughout the day. Visit your nearest Physical Fitness Facility, or take a run on the new track at Fryar Stadium.

Reframe the Situation We have choices in how we perceive the things that happen in our lives. If every little thing is throwing you off of your game, take a look around and see if those mountains are really molehills. Life is full of changes and challenges; how well you adapt to change, and how you take on each challenge may be as simple as changing your mindset. Programs like Army Family Team Building offer classes on adapting to change and managing stress. Call (270) 798-4800 for more information on upcoming classes.

Take a Walk Step away for five minutes and take a lap around the block, or the building. Getting a quick change of scenery and fresh air can turn your mood around.

With deep breathing and increased blood flow, taking a walk is like hitting a reset button for how you approach a problem.

Take Time for You Give yourself permission to take some time for you. Schedule a massage or spa treatment and just let yourself relax. Massage releases endorphins in your body, increases circulation and is very relaxing.

Different types of massages can help with different types of stress. If you hold a lot of tension in your muscles, for example, then you may prefer a hot stone massage or deep tissue bodywork. If you’re new to massage, the flowing, rhythmic strokes of a Swedish massage serve as a great introduction.

Talk It Out Sometimes, all you need is to vent to someone who will simply listen. Chat with a trusted friend, visit a chaplain, or meet up with a Military Family Life Consultant (MFLC). MFLCs are everywhere, and you can air frustrations confidentially, with no records. MFLCs can be reached at (270) 205-1917, or by visiting the Family Resource Center on William C. Lee Road. Chaplains are available at (270) 798-3316.

After you’ve tried a stress-management technique, evaluate whether it’s working for you. If you’re still finding you are stressed, find ways to tackle problems that are causing your stress by visiting Army Community Service.

“Lots of different things can cause stress; relationships and finances top the list for most people,” says Art Jones, Director of Army Community Service. “At Fort Campbell, we have at least 17 agencies here that can help with stressful issues. Army Community Service is a conduit to help you find the best agency to meet your needs. The goal is to make sure Soldiers, Retirees, DOD Civilians, Contractors and Families can find the right service at the right time, the first time they seek assistance.”

Visit the Army Community Service office at 5661 Screaming Eagle Blvd or call the Information and Referral Desk at (270) 798-9322. Offices are open 7:30am – 4:30pm Monday through Friday.

vs The Game is ON!

by Daniel Stair GAMING SYSTEMS ARE HIGHLY ENTERTAINING, FUN FOR all ages and let’s be honest, who doesn’t like playing video games! But out of all the gaming systems available, which one should you choose?

The two most popular gaming systems in the market right now are Sony’s Playstation 3 (PS3) and Microsoft’s Xbox 360. It's hard to decide between these two because they are both great gaming systems.

Personally, I'm a PS3 man it's just what I grew up using. I'm not putting down the Xbox though; it can definitely hold its own in a fight.

Let's go through a few aspects of each system, of course starting with my favorite, the PS3. It just does everything!

Due to Sony’s success with its Playstation 2 gaming console, Sony created the PS3, which continues to be the best-selling console on the market today. When Sony created the PS3 they vastly improved the hardware and concentrated on expanding online play and multimedia, securing the future of the PS3.

Sony has always incorporated its video game consoles with multimedia capabilities and the PS3 is no exception. The PS3 offers audio CD, DVD and Blu-Ray compatibility with additional Wi-Fi, online and web browsing abilities. With its online and web browsing capabilities, the PS3 can compliment any office or workspace and serve as the center for all your entertainment needs.

The Playstation store offers hundreds of downloads and free demos like Angry Birds (who doesn't like Angry Birds). Some of the of the best games I have tried include Red Dead Redemption, Heavy Rain, UFC 2010, Uncharted 2, and Call of Duty Black Ops, just to name a few. I could keep going but I would probably name them all. Last but not least you can't forget about the Playstation Move. PlayStation Move is an upcoming motion-sensing game controller platform for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) video game console. It’s so simple to use, just pick up the controller and play, that’s it. The combination of technology from the remote to the camera allows you to see yourself holding or interact with a character right in your living room. I love it and I know you will love it too.

Now, let’s talk about the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 has made several improvements over its predecessors. The console still provides an extensive library and clear, vibrant graphics, but it now includes built-in Wi-Fi. Older models had challenges with overheating however, the redesigned Xbox includes a larger fan and improved vent system. Microsoft tried to include HD capability and failed in the process. Blue-Ray players hold more information and are cheaper to make. Sorry Xbox Fans! The processor is a little slower than the PS3 and its not 3D compatible. But one great thing about the Xbox 360 is the Kinects. No controller needed just you and the game. Imagine controlling a movie or game with a wave of a hand or the sound of your voice. Exciting isn't it. Some games for the Kinects are Active 2 workout program, Zumba for the ladies, animals for the kids and sports for the guys. One game for the Xbox 360 that PS3 just can’t compete with is the Halo compilation. Halo 3 is the Xbox 360’s bestselling game and has sold an estimated 8.1 million copies. The game is pretty amazing; you just have to see to believe it!

Bottom line, PS3 and Xbox 360 are two great systems; it just all depends on what features you want, what you grew up on and of course how much you want to spend. These gaming systems tend to be a little pricey so consider shopping at the main PX Mall to take advantage of their military prices. I say try them both and decide from there.

Either way my friends you won't be disappointed.

Before you go out and spend your hard earned money stop by Dale Wayrynen Recreation Center, located at 6145 Desert Storm Avenue, and try out their PS3 and XBox 360. For more information about Dale Wayrynen Recreation Center and the games they have available call (270) 798-7446.

Looking for some friendly competition? Come to Dale Wayrynen Recreation Center on April 17 at 2pm for the Call of Duty Black Ops Tournament. This tournament is open to all eligible MWR participants ages 18 and over.

Trophies will be awarded to the top three finishers.

Dating on a Dime

by Justine Paul

www.fortcampbellmwr.com

AH SPRING TIME! SPRING IS A SIGN OF OVERCOMING THE crazy cold weather and embrace a newer warmer season as well as having a spring fever for love. Dating is on everyone’s mind, as well as the burden of breaking the bank. But no worries, Fort Campbell and the local community offer Soldiers plenty of dating activities on a budget.

Starting with Fort Campbell, there are plenty of activities that are date friendly as well as easy on the wallet. Hooper Bowling Center offers Dollar Night every Sunday from 12pm until 5pm in April which includes $1 shoe rentals and $1 games per person. A little bit of bowling competition never hurts a date, plus if you and your date are feeling a bit famished following the games, Hooper Bowling Center is also equipped with a snack bar, serving pizza, hamburgers, fries, a variety of sandwiches and much more.

Want another competitive date? Visit the Skeet Range right outside of Gate 10. The Skeet Range offers skeet and trap for the price of $5 per round and five stand for $7.50 a round. Do note that only military card holders can rent shotguns for $5, and please ensure you understand the rules of firearm safety. Remember, a safe date is a great date.

Hit the greenway at the Cole Park Golf Course, and play a game of 9 or 18 holes. Prices range from $6 to $18, pending on rank and holes played. Need to improve your swing? Hit a few balls on the driving range.

Take your sweetie on a scenic, romantic, and quite possibly, free date with the different parks offered within driving range. Pack a basket, a blanket and enjoy some people watching while soaking up the sunshine. Fort Campbell offers plenty of parks to have a nice picnic in the spring afternoon. Cole Park, Clarksville Base Park, Eagle Park, Wilkes Park and Riverside Park are great for a nice spring stroll or even an afternoon nap in the sun. Clarksville also has many great locations for picnics and leisure strolls such as McGregor Park, located on Riverside Drive, which offers a perfect view of the Cumberland River. Bill Dunlap Park, Rotary Park, and Clarksville Greenway are also excellent locations to plan casual leisure dates. Dunbar Cave offers another free idea for a date, where you and your date can experience multiple hiking trails and even explore the cave.

In May, Clarksville’s local winery, Beachaven Winery, sponsors free music concerts to the community known as Jazz on the Lawn. You and your date can enjoy local entertainment and explore the winery. For more information about musical performances, check out www.beachhavenwinery.com.

Want to enjoy the music scene while having one of the best hamburgers in town? Check out Cheeseburger Charley’s, a local hamburger joint that offers music entertainment every Thursday night from 6pm to 8pm. If you’re really hungry, take on Charley’s Five Star General Challenge, a cheeseburger stacked high with five beef patties and a basket of fries. Just make sure your stomach is much bigger than your eyes because you have 30 minutes to complete the challenge.

Edward’s Steak House, located in the heart of Clarksville, is the perfect place for an upscale romantic date. Edwards was voted “The Best Place to Get a Steak” and offers beautiful décor, a piano bar and delicious cuisine. Edward’s also offers a 10% Military discount to patrons with a valid Military I.D. You can view their menu and specials on their web site at www.edwardssteakhouse.net.

Thinking about dessert? One of the newest crazes in Clarksville is self serve frozen yogurt. Berry Bear is a frozen yogurt shop that offers the customer a full range of creative dessert options. Choose from a

variety of frozen yogurt flavors and toppings from the topping bar.

Chocoholics and fruit lovers can have a hay day of designing their own decadent dessert. Berry Bear charges your dessert by the ounce, and on top of that, Berry Bear offers a 10% military discount. Berry Bear’s locations are located in the Sango shopping center next to Walmart and coming soon, a new store opening on Wilma Rudolph Blvd next to Mulligans.

Is international cuisine more your style? Clarksville offers plenty of international restaurants ranging from Mexican cuisine to Asian cuisine. Pancho Villa Mexican Grill is one of the most popular Mexican restaurants surrounding the Fort Campbell area. Located just outside of Gate 4 on Fort Campbell Blvd, you and your date can enjoy great Mexican dishes such as enchiladas, burritos, and fajitas at discount prices. I,n addition to their moderately priced entrees Pancho Villa offers a 10% military discount. El Bracero is another great Mexican restaurant located off of Tiny Town Road. The food is delicious and available for a great price. Enjoy great dishes such as El Bracero Seafood plate, El Bracero Nachos, and much more. El Bracero also offers a 10% military discount to military ID card holders. Don Pancho is another Mexican restaurant surrounding the Fort Campbell area. Don Pancho is located in the strip mall next to the Oak Grove Walmart.

You and your sweetie can enjoy the classic chimichangas, fajitas, tacos, and much more. Don Pancho offers a military discount, but only on Tuesdays.

Got a taste for Asian Cuisine? Clarksville has plenty of Asian restaurants from which to select. Choose from Chinese buffets, to Hibachi grills, to Japanese cuisine. For excellent Japanese cuisine, visit Kohanas Japanese Resturant. You and your date can enjoy their sushi dinner platter or their various teriyaki dishes such as steak, chicken, or shrimp. Kohanas offers a military discount of 10% for military card holders. If you want dinner and a show, check out Hananoki’s Japanese Steakhouse located off of Lowes Drive. Enjoy the entertainment of your food being cooked up for you as well as their sushi selection. If hibachi restaurants are a little bit out of your price range, check out Chopsticks Chinese Restaurant located off of Wilma Rudolph Blvd. Enjoy great Chinese cuisine such as General Tao’s Chicken, Lo Mein, and many other favorites. Chopsticks also offer a sushi menu, with their own Chopstick special rolls. Chopsticks offer great Chinese food as well as a 10% military discount to military card holders.

Do you prefer choosing and combining your own dish? Check out China King Buffet located off of Lowes Drive. China King has plenty of Chinese and American cuisine, as well as a sushi bar and a quick hibachi grill. You and you date can enjoy what you want to eat at a great price, as well as 10% military discount off of your meal. Another great buffet to try out is New China Buffet and Grill, located on Riverside Drive and another restaurant also located in the Sango area. New China Buffet and Grill offer great choices of Chinese food as well as great sushi. The price range is great for the amount of food to choose from, as well as offering a 10% discount for military ID card holders.

Clarksville and The Fort Campbell area offers a wide range of activities for Soldiers to “date on a dime”. Whether it’s great food, great music, or just friendly competition, a small spark can start anywhere.

Just remember, go easy on your date; a rematch is a perfect lead for a second date.

2011 Rivers & Spires Festival

by Tara Goodson WITH AN ESTIMATED ATTENDANCE OF 42,000 people last year, 2011 Rivers and Spires festival is expected to be bigger than ever. Never been to this FREE three day festival located in downtown Clarksville? Well let me fill you in on all the fun. Between the shopping during the day, the food and the live entertainment in the evening there is almost too much to choose from! This year’s talent will entertain crowds on five different stages. This fest starts on Thursday, April 14 with Still Water performing at 4pm on the Patchwork Premier Stage and the last act hitting the stage at 8pm on the Public Square stage. But don’t fret if you miss out Thursday night, the music continues all weekend long and our very own Rendezvous Groove will be performing on the Third and Main Stage at 7pm on Friday, April 15.

Not only can you sing along with some great bands, you will get the chance to watch the top contestants from this year’s Eagleoke Contest.

Every Wednesday in March at O’Connors Irish Pub, crooners got a chance to vie for a top spot in the karaoke contest. Eagle 94.3, Clarksville Exteriors and O’Connors got together to take the top voices on air for the radio round.

Make sure you check out the Strawberry Alley Stage at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday April 16th to see the results.

Friday night will bring the first five acts of the Last Band Standing competition and Saturday will complete the show with the winner from each night battling each other to really find out who the best band is. The winner will be awarded a cash prize of $1000!

If music isn’t your thing, you can watch several martial arts studios put on an awe inspiring demonstration. Clarksville Budo Club, Harris Holt Martial Arts Academy and Clarksville

Judo Club will be showcased on Friday and Saturday.

To close out Friday evening’s music is the fabulous band Here Come the Mummies. They take the stage at 9:00 p.m. and you won’t want to miss this fun act! Fully dressed as mummies, this funky group is worth the wait. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them once or twice in Nashville and can’t wait to hear them in our town.

Local bands such as the Tina Brown Band, Mike Robinson and Whiskey Angel are worth the time to check them out.

Clint Black is this year’s headline performer.

Known for hits such as Killin’ Time and No Time to Kill, Black is scheduled to perform on Saturday night at 9pm on the Public Square Stage. Learn more about the wide variety of planned activities and view the festival performance schedule at riversandspires.com.

In between all the great music, you can visit Artz Galore and The Marketplace. Franklin Street will be lined from one end to the other with local vendors offering unique products. Don’t miss out on Jazz and Wine at Trinity Episcopal Church or watch the fun, whimsical costumes and small floats in the “Books We Love to Read” themed children’s parade. With the International Area that features customs and cuisine from other countries and the Green Zone to educate us on earth friendly habits, there is something for everyone.

The entire festival is a rain or shine event so come prepared.

Make sure you bring plenty of cash to purchase tickets, comfortable walking shoes and leave Fido at home. This free admission event will have plenty of tasty treats to purchase and so many bands to see that you won’t want to miss out.
